CHARLES N. STACEY, OF DARLINGTON, CANADA.

INCLOSED WASHSTAND OR SINK.

srncxrrca'non forming part 'of letters YatentNO. 552,207, dated December 31, 1895.

Application filed March '1, 1896 To all whom it may concern!- Be it known that I, CHARLES NEWBUR STACEY, of the town ship of-Darlington, in the county of Durham and Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented certain new andus'eful Improvements in Inelosed \Vashstands or Sinks; and I hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of-the same.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improveinents in inclosed Washstands or sinks; and the object of the invention is to construct the washstand or sink so that it can either be fastened to one of the walls of a room at any required height from the floor or baseboard or supported, if necessary, on a base provided for that purpose, and to so arrange the several parts that the cabinet when.

closed will completely contain and hide-from view the reservoir, the washbasin, the wastetank, and the soap and brush receptacles, in order that when not in use the washstand will form a neat and attractive article of furniture; and the invent-ion consists essentially of the device hereinafter more fully set forth, and more particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a view of the washstand, showing it closed. Fig. 2is a view of the same, showing it opened. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view on the lines a a, Fig. 1.

Fig; 4 is a verticalsectional view on the lines a a, Fig. 2.

Like letters of reference re fislr to like parts throughout the specification d drawings.

The apparatus consists of 'a cabinet Aof any suitable size and shape, preferably made of wood and paneled. In the top of the cabinet A is areservoir or tank 13, preferably of galvanized sheet-iron or tin. The top of the cabinet overlaps the top of the tank B, and hinged to the flangedat the rear of the top of the cabinet is a lid 0 to close the top of the tank B. By providing the overlapping flange a the-water while being poured into the tank 15 is prevented from getting between the tank and the walls of the cabinet. Connected to the lower end of the tank B is a dischargepipe D fitted with a tap In the lower end of the cabinet A is a waste-tank F of galvan- A is provided with a flange a which seal in. 540,882. (No model.)

ized' iron or tin provided with an outlet or discharge-tap G. l g One side of the lower end of the cabinet is provided with a door H to allow of the removal or replacement of the waste-tank F.

In the middle ofthe front of the cabinet A is a hinged door. I provided with a springlock J. Rigidly connected to the inner side of the front door'I is a water-tight trough K having a pocket is formed atv its inner end. The water-tight trough K projects from the front edge of the door I when in its horizontal position to the back a of the cabinet A. back f of the waste-tank F extends above the trough K to prevent the water from the trough getting between it and'the back of the cabinet. The front k of the trough K is set withinthe line of the front of the door I, in order that the trough and door inay readily close into position when closing up the cabinet.

Pi'v'oted to each side a" of thecabinet A is a batten which is arranged to bear upon the inner end of the .trough K when the trough is in its horizontal position. It'might here be stated that each of the battens L is pivoted atits upper end to its respective side a", in order; that the batten can swing outward when thedoor I and trough K arein their horizontal position to allow of the trough and door dropping into the vertical position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 4. The battens L when bearing on the trough K hold the trough in the horizontal position and support the entire weight of the trough and its contents. To allow of the trough and the door dropping into Fig. 4, I find it advisable to cut the inner end of the trough away, as shown in the drawings, to allow of the battens swinging out through the doorway.

. Where the water-service is in the house, I ma dispense with the reservoir or tank B P p premises I can connect the lower end of tho waste-tank F with the drain-pipe.

The trough K is so constructed as to support a Washbasin or a sink. The trough K is-s'hown in the drawings to contain a washbasin M, which may be either permanently or temporarily attached to the trough. The

The?

an connect the tap E to the water-service and where a drainage-service s on the.

the vertical position shown in dotted lines in pocket 70 of the trough is intended to receive and hold soap or any other solied matter which may be in the trough, and to provide a means for the discharge of the Waterfrom the trough I find it necessary to form through the pocket a series of discharge-holes N to allow of the water running out of the said pocket into the waste-tank F. On each side of the discharge-pipe D is located a soap or .brush tray 0.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim asvnew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In an inclosed wash stand or sink the combination of the cabinet, a reservoir in the top end of the cabinet, a discharge pipe and tap for the reservoir, a tank in the bottom of the cabinet adapted to receive the waste water, a hinged door for the front of the cabinet adapted to be placed in a horizontal position,

a trough connected to the door and extending to the back of the cabinet when the door is in a horizontal position, a batten pivoted to each side of the'cabinet against which bears O. N. STACEY.
